An interview with Anna, who is articulate as ever.



Google translation:

Anna Shcherbakova: “I came to the European Championships in normal form, I was just knocked out by the short program. This skate is no accident.”

Russian figure skater Anna Shcherbakova commented on her performance in the free program at the European Championships in Tallinn (2nd place).

Her words are quoted by Sports.ru correspondent Maya Bagryantseva.

“After the final pose, these bright and positive emotions always overlap everything that happened before - all the worries and experiences. Before the performance, it seemed to me that these two days were one of the worst in my life, that it was impossible to survive and there were a lot of unnecessary extra thoughts. But after the performance, I understand that it’s not all that scary and that positive emotions block everything.

After the fall in the short, it was morally difficult. Even before the competition I was very nervous, but after the short one I had a feeling that I had failed everything, I couldn’t cope with anything, everything was lost - and self-confidence was lost. It seems as if the time before the free program you just live up to the next failure. Perhaps the break day helped me, and all thoughts remained in yesterday. I went to the warm-up already very charged and tuned in for a good skate.

The task of each athlete is to get together at the right time and show the best, the question is how much excitement affects you. I also had this after a short one - after which I wanted to regain confidence. The skating was nervous, I didn’t turn off for a second, I understood that I would be distracted, lose control - and there could be a mistake on any element. And until the very last pose, I controlled everything to the smallest detail - every jump, every step, so that stupidity would not happen, because of which I would reproach myself.

I came here in normal form, I was just knocked out by a short program, yesterday the day was just in the fog, I came to my senses. And there are no problems with the form. Such my skate is not an accident and not something out of the ordinary.

By the time of the European Championships, everything was quite tense, to be honest, for the first time I did not read any news about myself, perhaps this also comes with experience. With each start, you understand something new for yourself, but here for the first time I was so upset after a short one.

I am so, so glad she stopped reading the news about herself.

And flag shenanigans.

I know. And in one recent interview she repeated she has a great relations with one russian skater (she didn't name but it was obvious she means Anna).

Russian figure skating is very severe. Rare day goes by without someone being called a freak. By the way, today Zheleznyakov continued - and in such a way that it became impossible to quote him.

The audience in the arena as well. You could hear how much louder their cheer was after landing the combo in comparison to the quad
